She's stay with me for a few months last year while mom was in the hospital so she's already familiar with the house and myself. She settled right in, She did this while she stayed with me then too, I just threw a towel down under the bowl but this time I'm trying to look for more permanent solutions. She was an outside cat at my mom's house and I don't think she used her water bowl there. There's a crick that runs by mom's house and I think she just went and drank from that. I suspect @CrudeVileTerror is right about her just wanting to drink from moving water.
